A blog for kids and adults in the St. Joseph County/Michiana area who are interested in understanding how books are eligible for the Newbery, and discussing which ones are truly distinguished.
The adventures of two teenaged cousins who live in a place called The FloatingIslands, one of whom is studying to become a mage and the other one of the legendary island flyers.
I loved the way Neumeier created a world here that was so different but believable, but her characterization was not what I wanted, so I think of it as less appealing because her characters felt a bit wooden. I did enjoy the read but don't consider it strong enough for the Newbery.
